War Memorials

Both the War Memorials in Edlesborough and Dagnall were refurbished in time for the Remembrance Service in November and the contractor has been thanked for the amazing improvement to the Edlesborough Memorial. Unfortunately due to the original lettering on the Dagnall Memorial containing lead this has resulted in a few light red marks appearing but the Contractor will continue to endeavour to rectify the problem.
